thank you--(10 points for most detailed and helpful answer)
Looks like you and I are getting our Bearded Dragons around them same time! I'm going to an expo on the 14th. Any who, here's some tips for a good light set up.
First of all, I wouldn't use a lidless cage. It messes up the temperature/air circulation and if you have ants in your house like me they'll probably get in, he'll/she'll eat them, and the ants will make him or her sick (Ants aren't good for Bearded Dragons!). Get a screen lid.
For your fluorescent tube, you'll need a slimline fluorescent tube fixture like this http://www.petco.com/product/14564/ESU-Reptile-Slimline-Reptile-Fixture-with-Desert-7-percent-UVB-Lamp.aspx
Some fixtures you may find have 3 light slots. Two incandescent bulb slots (one for day and one for night heating) and one for the fluorescent tube. These are definitely cheaper than buying three separate fixtures. This is what I have.
You could do the above options, or kill two birds with one stone. By that I mean by buying a Reptile Lighting and Screen Cover kit - http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753221&keepsr=0
Good luck with your purchases, I hope you have a healthy Dragon!
